Death/Grind Trip: Beginning (Bulgaria)

So...this is a project that I have been wanting to do for a while. I have been listening to all kinds of grind and death metal for a while now and I think I have a lot of bands in my library so I would like to share them with you. I will try to limit myself to 5-6 bands a country.

This is going to be sorted by countries and if you like any of the following genres then you might be interested in listening to some of the bands. The genres include:

GrindcoreDeathgrindGoregrindDeath MetalTechnical Death MetalOld School Death MetalProgressive Death MetalMelodic Death MetalBrutal Death Metaland all the possible mixes

very rarely will I add any other style of metal, since this is dedicated to pretty much those.

Also, if you feel like it, you can check my last.fm, I am not that "Trve" and I listen to all sorts of music, but you might find something interesting http://www.last.fm/user/bor4vor

So...here goes nothing...

Part I: The Beginning (Bulgaria)

Since I am a Bulgarian it pretty obvious I will start with our own extreme metal scene. The songs are in the spoilers

They probably sing about gore and torture, i don't know, I don't care, I just head bang.

The riffs are nothing spectacular, typical death metal riff. The drums are cool, a bit louder than what you ususally hear. The vocals on the other hand range from deep growls to high pitched screams. When you mix all this you get Past Redemption, an awesome grindcore band

Now this is a more serious band. Their lyrics are similar to those of The Berzerker i.e. they sing about misanthropy, psychosocial stuff, mental disorders and such

Their sound is not exactly something to die for, typical goregrind, but they are from my home town so I am a bit biassed. Maybe not so typical since there are not that many screams like say...Choked On Your Own Vomits, but they are from an older generation, when scream weren't "the thing" in grin music, which is okay with me, even more, I hate the overusage of screams (screamo, deathcore for the most part)http://www.myspace.com/hatebombbg for more info and songs

I like how the got from just a Brutal Death band (Awaiting the Death) to an awesome brutal death band (cane the messiah with the crook). The singer experiments a lot more in the second album (Immerse Into Bloody Bliss) and I dig that, but there is one thing they did not change. They fucking LOVE blastbeats, and if you are a blastbeat junkie and/or like vocals that do all sorts of differents sounds, check this out

You can find all the band (maybe except Grupa X) on Encyclopedia Metallum ------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for everybody who read it through. My english probably sucked for the most part, but I'm really exhausted and it is 11 pm here.

If people like this I might continue it, if not, well, then I'll have get on with my life.

My next stop will probably be Canada or if people want another country, well, okay, I'll do it.

And if I ever miss a band that you like, it probably means that I don't find anything speacial about it or just plain don't like it.

cya, till next time, whenever that is

Very good idea. Maybe you can describe the music a bit more--not just for people who don't feel like listening to each whole song on YouTube but also to hear someone else's opinion on it. I personally don't care about lyrics at all; they could be singing about perpetrating genocide or raping kittens and I wouldn't mind as long as the music was enjoyable. I'm sure a lot of people who listen to death/grind feel the same.

That's a great blog.However, I would suggest putting the progressive and melodic metal bands at the beginning and then continuing with harder stuff. Some of the bands you mentioned actually had nice music but whenever they start singing I felt the urge to stick a pencil up my ears... I for my part can only imagine listening to the Revenge Project.But you should deffinitely continue and present us some metal from other countries!
